what should I do to my truck so I can drag but also drive to school. I already have my split headers and 4bbl intake. I dont know if the headers will fit though. i dont really want to go all out with turbos and nitrous. I just want a fast truck I can drive to school in and then go race at the local drag.

Get the 4 bbl and headers on the truck, tune those parts in.
Get the truck running the best you can and take it to the track, let us know how it runs.
My guess is that you will quickly find-out that you need lower gearing for the dragstrip. You can get some real short "track tires' or change the rear end gear ratio, a ratio change will hurt you on you street driving and MPG.

Once you get out to the strip, what to do next becomes more clear.
